Tap tempo capability?

Post by rtuckr »

It seems strange that a plug-out keyboard, which is intended to be used in a live setting, would not have tap tempo capability to sync the arpeggiator (and sequencer) with musicians in a live environment. Apart from the absence of this button/feature, the System-8 seems like an extremely versatile instrument.

Does anyone know if the trigger input in the back can accept a manual tempo signal from a footswitch, like the FS-5U? Reaching, but figured it could be a work around...
